so i installed a new P/S pump and lines on my XJ last weekend and i noticed that when i drive around there is a really high pitched whistle when the pump builds up pressure (i.e. turning the wheel). but when i stop and am idling or just not steering at all the whistle goes away. its not the...

does anyone happen to have any pictures looking downward or at least showing whats under the radiator with the radiator removed on an XJ? i need it for reference for project im looking at

yeah i did some searching on radiators last night on summit. very few of those 4 core ones came with the inlet on the passanger side and outlet on the drivers. from the looks of it though by going with something that much bigger it will give me room on the sides of the radiator but i will have...

im not exactly sure what you mean by punched but im guessing you mean if the cyliders were overbored and yes they were. if im correct then what you are saying make perfect sense. i did install a high flow water pump when i did the stroker but as i feared, the radiator is not rated to handle my...

my jeep is a 92 and we rarely used the ac (had the jeep in the family since brand new). it still works and gets damn cold, but i prefer to just roll the windows down rather than use the ac thanks, ill check with some local shops and see what they say

:bump: so no one can answer my question?

i rarely ever use my ac anymore and i would like to remove the condenser to get better flow to my radiator but keep the compressor for OBA later on. a couple of questions i have after searching and reading are, how much does a shop normally charge to get rid of the refrigerant? and if i keep the...

yeah i never had one single problem with my motor was stock. everything i did made it run nice and cool. the reason for my problem now is because the stroker creates more heat than the motor did stock. basically my question is; Will an oil cooler help lower engine temps?

well i should of put that i have a seperate tranny cooler and i by passd the radiator. but the problem is the stroker generates more heat. it would run cooler for a little while right after oil changes which makes me think that an oil cooler would help me out a lot. i had the same set up before...

so i already have a lot of the normal upgrades, HD CSF 3 core radiator, 180* t-stat, hi flow water pump, electric cooling fan (2950 cfm), stock aux fan on a manual switch, even hood vents for when im at idle or moving very slow. the twist to my problem is i have a 4.6 stroker at about 9.75:1. so...

would a arm from a FSJ like a J20 be long enough and possibly be already reamed for 1 ton tierod ends?

yeah i found that out on another board. my arm currently is 5.5" center to center. so yeah ill see if i can find a waggy one. thanks for your help

steering problem/question w/pics so i went and swapped some 3/4 ton axles onto my XJ and i am running full hi steer on the steering. the problem i have is my steering radius is horrible. its worse than my dads dodge truck. my box still does the 3.5 turns lock to lock but i dont even come close...

all im lookin for is that compass/temp gauge thats in the front of it. mine went out last year and i havent found any in the yards around here. if your willing to seperate, let me know what you want for it

if your willing to take the compass/temp gauge out of the overhead console id be willing to pick that up from you
